Re: Tempest - WG6100 Purity re-adjustment when monitor is rotated 90'

Colin, I can understand your heppiness, it's a fantastic
experience to restore a tempest cab :D I remember when I
picked up mine in germany (thank you andreas)

This night I finished to repair my Omega Race using the 802
you sent me,
I removed all rust with dremel and all transistor sockets
have been reconditioned... probably is one of the vector
monitor in better conditions I have...

anyway when you finish your project I'll begin again to bore
all VECTORLIST people with my 6100 problems... yes, my
tempest is still death...

bye
